Stargate - My father once told me that he wants to walk into a room and say "My name is Jack O'Neill, and I'm taking over".

True terror lies in the futility of human existence.

Malcolm Reynolds is my co-pilot.

"The only freedom deserving the name, is that of pursuing our own good in our own way, so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs, or impede their efforts to obtain it. Each is the proper guardian of his own health, whether bodily, or mental and spiritual. Mankind are greater gainers by suffering each other to live as seems good to themselves, than by compelling each to live as seems good to the rest." - John Stuart Mill

I'm a huge fan of the movie "Dune". dunno if it qualifies as a cult classic, though.

Oh, definitely. If you can throw out a quote like 'He who controls the Spice, controls the universe' and others start talking about wormsign, you're amongst fans. If they just look at you funny and start inching away from you, you're not.

I think pretty much most science fiction movies that are still talked about over twenty years after they came out have reached cult status.

David Lynch version or the Sci-Fi Channel version?

"How is it that hardly any major religion has looked at science and concluded, 'This is better than we thought! The Universe is much bigger than our prophets said, grander, more subtle, more elegant. God must be even greater than we dreamed'? Instead they say, 'No, no, no! My god is a little god, and I want him to stay that way.'" - Carl Sagan

"To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection." - Henri Poincaré

Sting version (I think it's David Lynch). I have it on tape upstairs somewhere, in the Room of Doom with sixty hundred lotsandlots of random other stuff.trailer

It's so-so. The cooler one is Cary Elwes' camcorder behind the scenes thing. There are other special editions out there, I know mine was released in 2 sets of different packaging but same content, the "Buttercup Edition" or something.

I may be a minority on this, but I much preferred the Sci-Fi channel version of Dune.

I believe it's time for mankind to set aside the crutch of religion and embrace morality born of reason and truth. Those crutches have long since proven treacherous when the ground gets slippery.
